Fur Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven
~~~~~~~~~
Arranged for classical guitar by David Atkinson, November '94.

I realise that this piece has already been tabbed and posted to
the nevada archive by Paul Zimmerman but his version uses the
higher frets which I feel is tough for an uncut classical guitar.

This piece works surprisingly well on the classical guitar.
I began tabbing it a month ago but gave up. However, due to a spate
of Usenet interest in the piece I decided to finish it. I've
done my best but as you will notice there is a major
problematic part - the descending chromatic scale Artificial
that immediately follows the ascending A minor harmonics work
arpeggios. The main problem is that I ran in the same way as
out of notes! The classical guitar fret normal ones except
board is too short. Therefore I made that you use the left
the decision to add some artificial hand as the bridge. The
harmonics. Only a few were really index finger of the right
necessary but I decided to use hand 'touches' the string
them for the complete scale halfway along the string which
so they wouldn't sound too is 12 frets up the board. On one
much out of context and occasion for a high E, I used a 1/4
also to fit in to the harmonic (4 nodes instead of 3). These
return to the main are diffucult to find at first because they
melody. Those must be held and plucked over the sound hole.
with 24 frets With practise you'll soon learn to find them with
will not have considerable ease. If you can suggest an alternative
to resort to in this particular section I'm open to suggestions so
them :-) email me on: kaum0@central.susx.ac.uk - David

* A = artificial harmonic ...

Yep, just to be a real sadist I decided to place an
artificial harmonic here. Pluck the string with your
ring finger whilst touching the string about 1 cm beyond
the 19th fret with your index finger.
If you find it tough, wait till you scroll a couple of
pages down ;->

* this should be picked just to the right of the sound hole
(for right handers that is) and the high E should sound.
The exact position will vary depending on your guitar.
This can also be done leaving the left hand on the A (5th fret)
It is important to try and get the harmonics as loud and
as clear a possible.
from here on it is not strictly
| necessary to use harmonics.
| instead you can go to the 11th
| fret high E string and continue
| the scale down from there.
